+# Deluge Web UI
+
+The Deluge web interface is a full featured interface built using the ExtJS framework,
+running on top of a Twisted web server.
+
+## SSL Configuration
+
+By default the web interface will use the same private key and certificate as
+the Deluge daemon. You can use a different certificate/key and specify it in the Web UI
+config, see below for details.
+
+### Create SSL Certificate Examples
+
+Sample guide: [How to Create a SSL Certificate][ssl cert]
+
+#### Linux
+
+    openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out deluge.cert.pem -keyout deluge.key.pem
+
+#### Windows
+
+    C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.exe req -config C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout hostkey.pem -nodes -out hostcert.pem
+
+### Enable Web UI SSL
+
+There are two ways to enable SSL encryption in the web server:
+
+- Specify in your config (accessible via the Preferences window).
+- Use `--ssl` when running the web server, overriding the configuration value to enable SSL.
+
+## Enable Development mode
+
+Append `?dev=true` to the Web UI URL to enable development mode, uses the source
+JavaScript files (if available) rather than compressed versions:
+
+    http://127.0.0.1:8112/?dev=true
